Impressive in the league, OM will seek this Friday to stretch the good dynamic in the Cup.
OM are unstoppable at the start of 2023. The vice-champion of France is stacking up victories like pearls. And this magnificent series naturally whets his appetite. In addition to aiming for qualification for the next Champions League, the Marseille team would see themselves going all the way in the Cup. After all, this is the only other competition she will be called upon to play during this second part of the season.
The beautiful series of Marseille in danger
Conquering the Dame Coupe for the first time since 1989 is therefore an objective for OM. But it will not be easy to achieve. Before dreaming of a consecration next May at the Stade de France, we must already think about dismissing Rennes in the round of 16. Which won’t be fun.
This Friday, the Marseillais are measured neither more nor less to the heartthrob of the PSG. So yes, the Bretons are penalized by several defections (Mandanda, Bourigeaud, Terrier) but they have the weapons and the resources to hurt anyone. And we can count on Bruno Genésio to find the right tactical plans to hurt the opponent with a diminished team.
Against the SRFC, OM will not be complete either. Jonathan Clauss is still injured, while Eric Bailly has just been suspended for seven matches! A sanction deemed “exaggerated” by Igor Tudor. However, the Croatian technician will not use this as an excuse once the match has started. He wants to see his men maintain the same level of performance and extend their current state of grace as far as possible.
The probable compositions:
Marseilles: Lopez; Balerdi, Gigot, Gueye; Kabore, Guendouzi, Veretout, Kolasinac; Payet, Sanchez; Dieng
Reindeer: Mandanda; Meling, Theate, Wooh, Traore; Tait, Ugochukwu, Bourigeaud, Majer; Doku, Gouiri
